Wasn't a huge fan of Rhiannon, so it made me really frustrated when

A kept wrecking people's lives/relationships for her.

Overall though, I loved the concept of the body switching and wish it would be explored further!

Because of the nature of the body switching, it covers a lot of different life scenarios, which includes a lot of possibly triggering situations.

This book was...something. At first, I thought I liked it, but after time, I realized, there was no way The characters were bland and unlikeable, and the book felt like it was trying to be the best book ever, and it failed. I hate our characters with a passion, the mental health themes triggered me severely, so I can say genuinely, that this book was not good for my mental health. The so-called romance, was rushed, boring, and included two characters that make my blood boil. There was not one character I liked. Not to mention, the way our main character messed with others lives, doesn't pay up for his actions, and has no regard for others. He's manipulative, he blatantly objectified the women in these book, and he was excused because reasons? The love interest is clearly uncomfortable with the idea of dating him because of their gender, and the main character pressures her, making her even more uncomfortable! My least favorite book of the year so far, maybe ever This book is just a  mess, and in the worst way possible. Sometimes, it pops into my mind, and I get angry. As usual, please check the trigger warnings, if for some reason you chose to read this book. Mental health comes first!

Not entirely sure what to think of the ending just yet but this book was an emotional rollercoaster for sure; a great one though. The concept was so intriguing and I think the author did a great job answering questions that obviously arise with a concept like this.

I very much enjoyed this book and will definitely watch the movie to see if it is as good as the book it is based on.

Das Buch ist stellenweise richtig gut, nur muss ich gestehen, dass ich mit Rhiannon irgendwie nicht warm geworden bin. In A konnte ich mich sehr gut hineinversetzen und mochte den Charakter gerne.
Am Ende ist einiges offen geblieben. 

Und ich finde es schade, dass sie auf dem Cover des Hörbuchs und auch in der Beschreibung des Buches aus A einen Jungen gemacht haben.
